Nose: Aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and cinnamon. Mouth: An unctuous texture with notes of honey, cereals and spices. Finish: A long, warm finish, marked by hints of oak and dried fruit.
Nose: Nutty, vinous notes, dry, tart peaches, a little austere.
Mouth: Spicy character, sultana grapes, dried figs and walnuts with a touch of honey and pepper.
Finish: Powerful and spicy, with no intention of stopping.
